The Blood of Dawnwalker is more than just a Witcher-alike. This dark fantasy RPG plays with time and structure, and a dual-aspect hero, to mostly great success.
The Chinese Room has managed to make something from a box of inherited parts, but this action RPG feels hollow and functional, and is only redeemed by some stellar performances from the characters and cast.
Baby Steps walks a fine line between frustration and accomplishment to provide a walking simulator and climbing experience quite unlike anything else.
The Alters achieves something tense and new by merging strategy base-building with third-person exploration and a sci-fi story about cloning yourself. But repetition and complicated busywork mar the overall effect.
A zany, knockabout co-op action adventure that's kaleidoscopically colourful but wears you out before you get to the good stuff.
I feel like I should love Knights in Tight Spaces, and I do appreciate all of the work that's gone into it. The stark palette of the original game has been changed for something much warmer and more tavern-like, with lovely thick-pen-lined environments that you fight in. And I admire...
What Avowed lacks in gloss it makes up for with charm, depth and a playful heart. It's one of this year's most pleasant surprises.
Citizen Sleeper 2 is terrific. There are few other games that can reach out like this and clutch as unerringly at my heart, and few other games I would want to.
A fantasy role-playing game of astonishing spectacle. This is the best Dragon Age, and perhaps BioWare, has ever been.
A sequel that takes the thrilling cold-survival city-building heart of Frostpunk and evolves it in every way, while losing none of what made the series so special to begin with.
It starts with a bump, but played the right way, V Rising offers riches few other crafting survival games can match.
Mechanically, Life Eater uses a diary-based puzzle system in some really interesting ways, but it struggles to say anything meaningful about the shock-factor setting it's gone for.
